Typical Schedule

A typical first day begins with a hearty breakfast, after which family members move on to a full range of activities. Children are grouped by age, and head off to enjoy the day supervised by volunteer counselors. Meanwhile, adult family members make their way to fun as well. The morning hours are filled with swimming, arts and crafts, kayaking and canoeing, mini-golf, archery, super duper blooper games, or snowshoeing, ice-skating, and sledding, depending on the season.

Hungry campers show up for lunch at noon, and the lunch hour begins with a "Go Camp Sunshine" cheer.

Afternoon rest hour for younger children and their parents follows lunch. Meanwhile, the 9-12 year olds and the teens are back in their groups moving on to the next activity. At 2:00 PM, all age groups are back in action, and at 2:15 PM parents typically come together for a discussion group. These groups provide an opportunity for parents to meet and share stories with other parents in similar situations.

Parents connect again with their children and take a break before dinner at 5:30. A variety of options are offered at both lunch and dinner, including a healthy salad bar, and of course, dessert. Our food gets rave reviews!

After dinner, the nightly entertainment begins. Events include a masquerade party, talent show, parent gourmet dinner, sleep-out for the 9-12 year olds, wishboat launch, and farewell ceremony, giving everyone the chance to have fun together and to share their experiences of the day and week.
